What a place. My taxi driver drove 75 miles per hour to the hotel and was flipped off twice by other drivers. I was here just two years ago and the place doesn’t even look the same.
Exciting. I love casinos, though I’m staying away from them on this trip. I promise. I didn’t even bring much money. I’m here to work, people. This isn’t fun and games.
As for work, the Shockers weren’t so hot tonight. Wonder what the mood of Wichita will be after the loss to New Mexico. You tell me. That’s what you’re here for. Or there for. Or wherever you are.
I’m not too happy about not getting to see a Wichita State-Kansas State game in this Las Vegas Classic. I have to tell you, as I wrote in my column for tomorrow, I’m not so sure the Shockers would want anything to do with K-State. Bill Walker is a man and he makes a huge difference for the Wildcats.
Don’t be too disappointed with the Shockers. They’ll bounce back. But they have some things they need to figure out.
Take care and Merry Christmas. I’ll talk to you again tomorrow.

After watching WSU (first time this year) IMHO the ‘Cats have much better athletes overall and are starting to come around as a team. Playing as a team is all WSU has on them now which makes sense considering Turgeon has five years on Huggie in terms of coaching his team.
Not only is Walker a great talent that will get better but he really frees up Martin and Hoskins to score the ball. The real key to KSU’s season will be how well Bennett and Colon play as they will be needed against big teams.
Did Turgeon really cry during Friday’s postgame pressy?
